We tend to avoid doing too many announcements here on the NLM, only because there are so many events which are out there to promote and one can very quickly become inundated -- which, let's face it, is a delightful problem for it means that there is a great deal going on out there.

However, the following event will most certainly be of broad interest, I think, to a number of clergy, and is taking place at the beautiful FSSP seminary in Denton, Nebraska:
